World Machine

Some folks try

To multiply

From sunrise to sunset

Leave behind

More of their kind

So no one will forget

But that ain't where i'm coming from - today

Those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway

I wanna know where my pride has gone

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine



Teachers teach

And preachers preach

Of spiritual evolution

But this big i am

From uncle sham

Just adds to my confusion

I've seen his face, i've heard his song - before

But i don't care what time he's on - anymore

I must have been on the streets too long

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine



I find myself outside your door

Trying to make it like before

But you don't follow what i say

And i can tell by your smile

You're no longer a child

That part of you was buried yesterday . . .

. . . who knows

Why they come and where they go

In this world machine?





It's the chosen fools

Who make the rules

That don't apply to me

With their fast-car games

And counter claims

Not my reality



And i don't know if i belong - today

I don't know why my friends have gone - away

I must have been on the streets too long

The party's over

Caught in a dream

Inside this world machine



(don't knock the system - we'll knock some sense in you

Don't beat the system - there's nothing you can do)
